Would love to see Phil win and go out on top of the pile! Love him or loath him he’s been the the best for a very very long time and helped darts become as big as it is today

This seems very relevant right now...

Not totally yet another company still has their claws into the FF.

Xmen, yes. F4, no. Seems Fox were licensing them from someone else. But now they have to reveal that the X Gene is active in the MCU and just want noticed before now.
And after Marvel going to the bother of retconning characters to remove their mutant origins

Thanos could active that with his attack using some sort of weapon.

Sorted.

this theory does it well and says Prof X whipped mutantkind from people memories ?

Looks like F4 is included in the sale

Christmas came early for me today. Got my hands on a Super Nintendo Classic at long last having pre-ordered it back in the summer! I was losing hope I'd get it before the end of the year.

I went with Street Fighter II Turbo which I had to go for because when I had the original console that was one of the handful of games I had. Turns out I'm very rusty now though at remembering the moves. I thought it would all come back to me but I was wrong!

I've only played a few games so far. I tried Super Punch Out which I never played before and got past the first boxer but then got beat by the next guy who looks like a fat Zangief.

Most of my time has been spent on Super Mario World which surprises me because I'm sure I've played this on one of the handheld remakes many years back but it has sucked me back in again. This must be one of the top five games ever made. Ridiculously entertaining even today.

One of the games I'm looking forward to playing is Final Fantasy III. I played the games VII through X and was a huge fan. Then I played X-2 and never bought another one since. I guess it badly put me off. I never played any before VII though which is a pity because I've heard VI is meant to be excellent.

Overall it's great value for the price. I don't know if kids or anyone born in the late nineties would enjoy it as much as I do though.

How much is it?

90 overall. I paid 50 when I pre-ordered it and was asked for another forty when I was called in to collect it.

With all the Games? Where’d you get it?

I got it at GameStop. I was told by them last month that they were getting in only a handful of units a week and there was a huge waiting list. I thought that meant my earliest chance of it was in January.

Yeah all the games are on it pre-installed ready to go from the off. It says on the box 20 + 1 which I believe is a reference to Starfox 2 which is a never before released game that is also on it. I've never played a Starfox game so that wasn't a big deal to me but I guess it's a nice addition. A lot of classics on it: Zelda : A Link to the Past, Super Mario World 1 and 2, Street Fighter II, Mario Kart (graphics are much worse than I remembered for this but it's still fun), Donkey Kong, Kirby, and some other stuff.

There's no more putting carts in the slot which is nice. One potential downside is it doesn't come with an adapter attached which may be an issue for old TVs, but I think most people have adapters lying around.

CastorTroy

It can be powered by tv USB slot, apparently. Got mine at release and haven't opened yet.

And there is a way to add more games if you look around.
There were 10 in stock in Smyths near me yesterday, accoring to online stock check. Now all Smyths are sold out except Galway.

On a quick side note, I found out yesterday that Hanson have released a Christmas album.

Sriracha sauce is one of the greatest culinary inventions ever.
Extremely delicious and very versatile, it goes well with everything.

I've also discovered it works well as a toddler deterrent, when they come to the table side giving it "have some Daddy". One bite is enough to send them scurrying
